The gap we fill

Your student's school does a lot right.
This is the part it usually can't.

High schools do a good job bringing colleges to campus, booking visits, and helping with applications. What they generally cannot do, at 400 students to one counselor:

  • Show your student the full landscape of careers, many of which they have never heard of
  • Tell you whether a college's students actually stay and graduate
  • Tell you what a family will really pay, not just the sticker price
  • Warn you when a school is quietly shrinking

That is the gap CollegeCareerFit fills. We start with who your student is, and we do not stop until it connects to real careers, real majors, and real colleges, with the honest numbers attached.

Connect the whole path

Most tools stop at a career quiz. We connect the dots.

Plenty of quizzes hand your student three job titles and call it a day. CollegeCareerFit keeps going: career to major to a real college that fits, all in one place.

It is the whole "what should I do, what should I study, and where should I go" answer, connected, so your family is not stitching it together from a dozen browser tabs.

Honest about both halves

We tell you the truth about careers and colleges.

On careers: real salary medians (not best-case), the job-growth outlook, and an honest read on AI-disruption risk. We are not here to scare anyone. Of the 130 careers in the tool, 78% are growing and about half are low AI-risk. But when a path is genuinely exposed, we say so.

AI displacement: Low Job growth: Strong Salary: $71K-$139K

On colleges: net price (not just the sticker price), how many freshmen come back, how many actually graduate, and whether the school is growing or shrinking. The good schools have nothing to hide. We help you find them.

Why I built this

A straight question from my son, and no straight answer.

Hi, I'm Doug. When one of my kids was 16 he asked whether he should already know where he's going to college and what he'll do for work after he graduates. That's a heavy question for a teenager, and I realized I couldn't hand him a straight answer. I didn't know how to help him understand the careers he was suited for, whether those careers have a good outlook, or which schools would be good ones to attend.

As someone who's been building software products for over 15 years, I knew it was time to get to work. So this was a passion project built out of necessity, and now I'm finding that it's going to benefit a lot more families than just mine.

I want to be clear: this isn't a knock on high schools. Most do a pretty good job getting colleges in the door and booking visits. But they generally can't give a student the real landscape of careers they might actually be interested in, and they don't have the data to tell a family what a school is really like once you get past the tour, whether students stay, whether it costs what it says, whether it's shrinking.

At the beginning of COVID, I was (strongly) steering my boys towards software engineering. It was a safe bet and it paid well.

I'm honestly glad they didn't listen, because entry-level software-engineering jobs are now a fraction of what they were, and the ground is still moving. Even a well-meaning parent pointing at yesterday's sure thing can get it wrong. That's exactly why this tool shows AI-disruption risk with real data instead of gut feel. I'd rather your family have the honest picture than outdated advice.

Your family's data stays your family's.

That's not a setting you have to go find. It's how the whole thing is built.

Questions

Straight answers.

Why pay when our school already gives us Naviance for free? +
Those tools are built for the school's college-application workflow, and career exploration is usually an afterthought. They also won't tell you a college is shrinking or loses a quarter of its freshmen, and they stop short of connecting who your student is to real colleges with honest cost and outcome data. CollegeCareerFit connects the whole path, is straight with you about AI and college health, and works today without waiting on the school. It's a one-time $XX purchase, not a subscription.
Is my kid's data safe? +
Yes. There's nothing to resell and no one to sell it to. The assessment shows no ads and carries no third-party ad trackers, and we never use your student's answers or results for advertising or hand them to an ad network. We do measure our own Facebook and Instagram ads on these marketing pages, which is a separate thing and never touches the assessment. Your student's results belong to you. See our privacy stance for the details.
Is this just another personality quiz? +
No. It uses the validated Holland RIASEC framework, not a proprietary black box, and it doesn't stop at a list of job titles. We connect your student's results to majors and to real colleges, with honest pay, growth, AI-risk, cost, and retention data attached.
Are these numbers real, or marketing? +
Real. Salary and job-growth come from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, interests from O*NET, and college cost and outcomes from the U.S. Dept. of Education College Scorecard. We use the actual counts (130 careers, 2,580 colleges), not rounded-up marketing numbers, and we tell you which sources sit behind each fact.
My kid is only a sophomore. Is it too early? +
Earlier is the point. A direction now makes the next two years intentional instead of a senior-year scramble.

Two of the biggest decisions ahead. Start with honest data.

This is one of the most expensive decisions you and your child will ever make. It is worth getting right, together.
